college is rated as one of
the top 300 American colleges, ac-
cording to Barron's Best Buys in
College Education. The rating
system includes: tuition, the
students, academic programs,
facilities, special programs,campus
life, financial aid and admissions
standards, according·to Barron's.
Jennifer Nagy, a freshman from
Chatham, N.J.,
·
agrees with the
·
ranking.
"Marist is definitely worth the
money because of the size of the
.
classes and the teachers are good,"
she said.
President Dennis Murray said he
was pleased with the ratings.
"Marist College is considered in
the top 10 percenFin terms of quali-
ty and value," Murray said. "This
achievement is a tribute to every
member of our college communi-.
ty." Joyce Muntz, a freshman
from Hyde Park, N. Y., said Marist
offers students many oppor-
tunities. "It's local, I'm saving
money and it's a
lot of fun," she
said.

Election revote
Frosh results invalid
by
MATT MARTIN
Staff
Writer
In another act plagued by controversy, the Student Government
Association decided to rerun the freshmen elections on Oct. 5, after the
- results from the original election, held on Sept; 30, wer~ declared invalid.
Evidence of ballot tampering and illegal polling procedures, caused SGA
to"
declared the original vote invalid, according to Marc Spitzner, a senior
· election commissioner from Chesire, Conn.
In ail, the results for three positions; president, treasurer and secretary,
were contested.
"There was a considerable difference between the number of ballots
verses the number of people who voted," Spitzner said.
.
At a mandatory meeting for candidates last Thursday, that number
was estimated to be around 60 unauthorized ballots, said Scott Sullens,
a presidential candidate from Nashua, N
.H.
"There was tampering at the polling table," said Claudine DeSola,
a candidate for treasurer from Staten Island,
N.Y. "Things were being
said that shouldn't have been said." DeSola, who filed the original com-
plaint about the election,- said she was working in the student ~overn-
ment office in the campus center while the polls were open on Sept. 30.
"They (pollsters) were right outside telling people "'.h~ to vo!e for,"
said DeSola. "It's a disgrace." Because of problems w1thm polling pro-
cedure and as a result of numerous complaints SGA received, the elec-
tion commissioners and the SGA president made the decision to rerun
the elections, said Nella Licari, SGA president.
Licari, a junior from Wappingers Falls, N.Y., declined to _com~ent
on specifics of the election stating that results were still un~er mvestiga-
tion and she said didn't want to make any false accusations.
"The SGA told us not to say anything about the elections," said Bill
Jakoby, a
.
candidate for president from New York ~ity, N.--r:- The air
surrounding the controversy never cleared as SGA neither confirmed nor
denied the involvement of some candidates in the infractions.

according to
Kilgour, who attended Marist when
the drinking age was 18. There is
no longer a campus pub or house
parties on campus due to the drink-

basically· become extinct, but
Kilgour said she sees the students
as still having a great social at-

programs. Susan Hamburger,

Most graduates come back to
visit Marist only on homecoming
weekend or for class reunions, but
there are
90 alumni who visit the
college daily -
as employees.
These alumni can
be
found all over
campus, whether it be working in
administration offices or teaching
classes, and all have seen

as Murray put it, who began work-
ing in Marist's Admissions Office
a little over a month ago.
"It's easy for me to talk about
Marist because I had a really good
experience here," said Murray.
During the time Munay was away
from
.
Marist he said he sees a big
change in the diversity of students.
'
.
'When
.
I was a freshman
everyone
.
was from Long Island,
but now Marist has a better
population because
·
.
it is so
diver~e," said Murray. Murray is
_
not the only one who
,-
has seen
changes at Marist.
:
Dr. Jeptha Lanning, I
953
graduate, has worked at Marist for
almost
29
years and is an associate
professor of communication arts.
Lanning has also acted as the
divisional chairperson of Arts and
Letters, the Marist Abroad Pro-
gram and
·
the English/ Communica-
tion Program during his years at
Marist.
Lanning has seen many changes
at Marist since he was a student 40
years ago -
so many that he did
not know where to begin.
"I believed Marist would grow.
I did not foresee how dramatic the
growth would be in a comparative-
ly short time," said
.
Lanning.
Lanning referred
to
this
"growth" as being upward and
healthy,adding thatthe improve-
·
ment of Marist's programs, per-
sonnel and property is something
every Marist graduate, student and
employee can ~e
-
proud of.
Linda Dickerson,
1976 graduate,
has been an adjunct communica-
tion
arts
instructor for six years and
also worked at Marist's public in-
formation director from
1977 -
1982.
Dickerson was in the first
group of communication arts ma-
jors to graduate from Marist, and
later returned to teach - as did
29
other alumni. Besides the changes
in Marist's outward appearance,
Dickerson said the scope and
specialization of the college have
also changed since she was a s_tu-
dent. According to Dickerson, the
number of programs offered has
increased dramatically and Maristis
now structured to establish people
·
·
as specialists in their fields.
"Marist has become a much
more sophisticated institution than
20 years ago," said Dickerson.
Maureen Kilgour, a
198~
graduate,
completed her
undergraduate
studies and received her master's
q.egree in public administration
from Marist. Kilgour recently
became alumni director after being
director of special events since May
1988.
.
"I am in a.weird position work-
ing on campus because I don't see
myself as being any different than
when I was a student, but I'm l
l
years older
·
than the freshmen,"
said Kilgour.
·
In the years Kilgour has been at
Marist she has seen the campus
transform before her eyes with the
building of the Lowell Thomas
Communications Center, Dyson
Center, Marian Hall, Marist East
and the remodelling of Donnelly
Hall but the biggest change
Kilg~ur said she sees is in the stu-
dent's social awareness. "The
students participate in the giving
tree program, the special olympics
and do projects for the homeless.
The campus is focusing on how the
world around them is changing,"
said Kilgour.
The social atmosphere at Marist
Hamburger has worked at
Marist since
1986
when she was
hired as a part-time TAP/VA cer-
tifying officer and she commented
on how the campus' appearance
has greatly improved. "I walked
outside one day and said, 'Wow,
this is a
really beautiful
campus;•
"
remembered
Hamburger.
Between the new buildings, the
remodelling and the landscaping -
especially the beautiful flowers -
Hamburger said she really enjoys
looking at the campus.

were put to rest last Friday night:

I sped down to UCONN at Storrs

We got lost for about an hour

the house lights went and we were
in for a treat.

into "Caffeine."
WOW! They sounded 100 times

alone, but your assumptions would
be wrong. This is not a comedy
.
,vith stupid characters in dumb
situations. This is more like a
media satire, but with a twist of
goodness, and not the preachy nor
.
the "shove-down-your-throat"
message you may find in other
movies. This movie has two of the
most famous underlying morals:
Never judge a book by its cover,
and no matter who you are, you
always have some impact on so-
meone's life. Steven Frears, direc-
tor of critically-acclaimed movies
"Dangerous Liaisons" and "The
Grifters," presents us with some
very grueling topics, but in a way
that does not brings down the
movie. Tlte story kept rolling
along, and I started to wonder how
the ending would tum out, in the
basic, stereotypical fashion, or in
a serious thought-provoking way.
Happily, I was wrong on both ex-
tremes, and the ending summed up
the movie's characters with no

who lives out of his car collecting
cans and would help anyone in
need. When LaPlante gives him his
shoe, the other one he lost at the
crash site, Bubber tells him he
could give it to someone with one
leg
,
not to sell it for profit, but only
because the man needs it. And that
kind nature makes everyone believe
he is the savior of those people
when he presents the missing shoe.
And here is where Garcia really
shines through as one of the great
young actors of our day. He goes
from a homeless nobody to an
American hero, penniless to a
millionaire, unattractive to a very
handsome man in one minute. But
he did not want the popularity, nor
the money, nor Geena Davis, all he
guilty even after all the good he has
done with his new
fotind
image.
·
or
course, Geena Davis, hot off of
·
"Thelma and Louise" and "A
League of Their Own,'' proves that
she may be one of the best actresses
on the screen today
.
She plays the
·
reporter who wants to find the
"Angel of Flight 104,.,but is also
very ethical when it comes to repor-
ting news. Prof. Richmond Egan
would Jove her, but so do we when
she gets into action; making her
Chicago's best reporter.
The only problem I had was
Dustin Hoffman
.
This actor has
been around longer than I have, yet
the great movies he has been doing
lately, with the exception of
"Hook," are all reminiscent of
"Rain Man." From Mumbles in
"Dick Tracy" to Vito in "Family
Business," he
·
always ~eems to be
repeating himself, stuttering, and

the fact that he can greatly act like

"feel-good" movie, but it keeps
you on your toes, and you come
out wondering how you see the

American hero, even though he did

a nobody with a good heart only

-Sex abuse in church
draws recent attention
by
STEVEN MASERJIAN
Staff Writer
.
Cases of sexual misconduct involving priests have flooded both the
national and local'media in recent days, causing confusion and concern
for those of the Roman Catholic Church and the public at large.
"It
(the media) would give you the impression that there are all of these
oversexed priests and ministers with no control over their sexuality," said
Richmond Egan, a Marist priest and Associate Professor of Communica-
tions. "They're not necessarily saying that, but by beating down the issue
time and time again, people start to believe its true."
The recent increase in such stories has many caught many people by
surprise.
·
Sister Jeanne Hamilton of Marist College said: "It's very shocking.
Especially to people who hold priests in good esteem and expect them
to live good lives and expect to be safe with them."
.

its critics, many concede that there is room for improvement on how
the church handles cases of sexual misconduct. "Apparently, the response
to this problem has in some cases been slow and ineffective," said Sister
Jeanne. "I regret that it seems to have taken external pressures to move
us to take steps that perhaps should have been taken earlier." Egan said
he believes that in the past the church did not deal effectively with the

Faced with the realization that
an undergraduate degree does not
guarantee a job after graduation,
students have been considering
graduate schools. "I heard I can-
not get a job without a graduate
degree," said Jen Flynn, a senior
from Hillside, N.J. Theresa
Defozio, a senior from Staten
Island, N.Y., said she wants to fur-
ther her education beyond college
so she will be prepared for the com-
petitive world.
"A college education does not
mean you are prepared for the job
market," said Defozio.
Graduate school has become an
option to many seniors concerned
about their r:m~r.rs.

lege Pre-Professional Counselor

"Students are concerned about
jobs," Beaman said. "They believe
they will become more marketable
in their field if they have a graduate
degree." Other reasons why
students attend graduate school are
for the mere joy of learning or
because they need it for a specific
professional deeree.
A professional degree is required
for students interested in law,
medicine and academic research.
Kennard Gopaul, a 21-year-old
senior from the Bronx, N.Y., said

graduate school. "Grad(uate)

said. Beaman also said students are

Stubborn Perot backers relish announcement
by
CARI OLESKEWICZ
Assistant Editor
They have been called suckers-
people who are so trusting and so
naive that they are setting
themselves up to be let down again
.
They are Ross Perot supporters.
"People think he cares about the
average American, but he's only
out for himself," James Hocking,
a junior from Danbury, Conn.-,
said.
Perot, a Texas billionaire, of-
ficially announced his candidacy
for president last Thursday, rever-
sing his July 16 decision to drop out
of the race. The Circle learned last
Wednesday night that Perot would
re-enter the race from Dr. Michael
Welner, a New York spokesperson
for the Perot camoailm.
•:•we feel very mvigorated,"
Welner said of the volunteers.
"We've anticipated this fo! a
while, and ·we are very energized
and ready to get going." The most
serious question that remains about
Perot's entry is whether or not he
will be able to win back the
widespread support he once had by
the Nov. 3 election. Most polls
.
show that over 60 percent of the
people did not think
·that
Perot
should enter the race.
·
·
Perot had set up a 1-800 number
prior to his entry, asking people to
call and tell him if he should run.
_
Jessica Scincroster, an adult stu-
dent from Poughkeepsie, said the
number was a hoax. "I called up
to tell him not to run," Scincroster,
a former supporter, said.
"But
I
didn't get to say anything. A recor-
ding picked up and thanked me for
my 'yes' vote.
It was all fixed."
Welner said that those who did not
want Perot to run could have com-
municated their opinions in other
ways. "Why should he
.
(Perot)
spend all tha( money on a number
to hear negative comments,"
Welner said.
"If
it meant a Jot to
people, they could call Dallas or
write letters." Scincroster said she
is still undecided as to who she will
be
.
voting for, but refuses to give
Perot her
.
support back. "I'd be
-voting
for him if he stuck it out,"
she said. "But now I can't help but
to look at him as a quitter. We
can't have a president whose
moods and whims change that easi-
ly." There was a lot of speculat!on
as to Perot's reasons for droppmg
out of the race, and he explained
last week that it was a mistake.
"l
made a mistake because I thought
both parties would grab the issues
and take off," Perot said on the
CNN talk show, Larry King Live,
on Sept. 28. Welner said that Perot
re-entered the race because he did
not believe the other candidates
were addressing the issues. "Peo-
ple are going to recognize the
uncertainty about where our coun-
try is going," Welner said. "We
can't afford four more years.
Although Bush and Clin~ori have
different ideologies, they are both
the same because they are can-
didates· of the status-quo."
Since the election is less than a
month away, many wonder if Perot
stands a chance of winning.
"He absolutely has a chance to
win," Welner said. "He is a bright
man who understands that an elec-
tion does not need to be several
months long. He understands how
to reach the electorate." Marist
College Perot supporters also
believe he will be elected the next
president of the United States.
"His supporters will come back
because he has an idea of what he
wants to do," tv,tark Sternefeld, a
sophomore from New York, N.Y.,
said. "He's not going to promise
us anything, like the other can-
didates. He's very straightforward
about our problems and his plans"
"It
will be close between Perot and
Clinton," Craig Chandler, a
sophomore from Woodstock,
Conn., said. "Perot will get his
support back because he is a peo-
ple's man."
Though he is low in the polls
now, Scincroster worries the
amount of money he is willing to
spend will have a positive effect for
his campaign. "He is literally go-
ing to buy the presidency,'' she
said. Dr. Louis Zuccarello, pro-
fessor of political science at Marist,
said he does not believe Perot is a
serious candidate to win, but may
affect who will win, depending on
the votes in critical states.
"People have come out to sup-
port him because there is a newness
about him," Zuccarello said.
"It
reflects how people are frustrated
with the system as it exists now."
Hocking said he does not believe
_
Perot will win because the can-
didate himself is not taking the
campaign seriously. "He's just
playing games with it, as though
it's no big deal," Hocking said_.
"He's popular because he is play-
ing games with people.
Perot may appear to have the lit-
tle person's interest in mind, but
that is only to suit his greater
need."
Chandler said his main reason
for supporting Perot was t!1at he
will make the United States more
respectable in the world market.
"He's a businessman," Chandler
.
said. "This country needs to be run
by someone other than a politi-
cian." Sternefeld said he believes
if Perot is elected, the country will
be stronger
in
four years than it is
now. "Once iri office, he will make
political cuts that are important,"
Sternefeld said. "Look at the t:x-
ample of the private jets that
senators and members of Congress
use. Perot would get rid of that.
There's no reason for them to be
spending our money on such
needless expenses." Welner said he
is confident the people will accept
Perot's plans as the most logical for
the country.
"It is clear that the other can-
didates' budget numbers do not
add up,'' Welner said. "Perot's
book 'United We Stand' addresses
a myriad of issues of indicative
depth. There is a lot of forthsight
that is absl!nt in the other can-
didates." Welner said he predicted
Perot would join the campaign
"with relish."
"It
will be an un-
conventional campaign," Welner
said. "Ross Perot is a rare man
who is not afraid to reinvent the
wheel."

"People were saying, 'Vote for

Park Ridge N.J. "I never asked
them to do it, and I don't know
why theywould do such a thing."
Mooney said that someone
might have mentioned her name to
people voting if they did not know
who either candidate was. "I didn't
know a single person working the
table," Mooney said.
"Maybe
they
knew me, but I didn't know
them."
Mooney even questioned the
judgment to allow freshmen to run
the polls.

doesn't care," she said. "They do
what they want." "The IBM grant

there are things that are needed on
the Macintosh computers which
aren't available," the senior adver-
tising manager added. Rebecca
Price, a freshman from Amhurst,
Mass., is transferring in January
because the school is just too
small. "It's a good school, but it's
However, there appears to have
been conflicts of some sort. "You
expect that students come into col-
le~e knowing right from wrong,"
said Pat Crocetta, the SGA vice-
president and a senior from
Albany, N. Y '. "The freshmen just
didn't realize how serious student
government was." For
.
the revote,
Licari, Spitzner, and Dave Laffin,
the other electiort commissioner
were the only people allowed acces;
to the ballots.
Even with the added precau-
tions, some of the candidates said
they feel the damage has been
done.
·
"No matter what happens, both
of us (Ryan and Mooney) will be
looked at differently when we did
nothing wrong," Mooney said.
"Both of our images will be ruined.
"They SGA told me that they
would clarify the story and clear

Prison program gives former

The phone remained on its hook

·
Nutley, N.J.,
hung up with known loan shark and drug
trafficker, Gary Fiola, as eight FBI agents
pounded on the steel door of her New Jersey
condominium, like a TiPPanydrum in a
Wagner Symphony; while local police call-
ed to ask Fernandez to do what the FBI
could not - open the door.
Fernandez, a mother of three who never
finished high school, was arrested on Nov.
28, 1985,
at
10
p

the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt
Organization (RICO) A,c_t s,f

and seizure was conducted
by federal, stati!"and
Ideal
authorities, con-
necting her to what police described on Nov.
28,
1985
as operations by a ring headed by
Gary Feola.
The authorities found two kilograms of
cocaine, a scale and a bottle of vitamin B in-
asitol, a white powder form of the vitamin .
used to cut cocaine. Fernandez denies being
responsible for all of this, and says it belong-
ed to either a friend of her boyfriend who
was staying with her at the time; or her sister-
in-law. The RICO statutes were designed to
enable police to arrest criminals who evade
the law while breaking it, such as members
of organized crime families and drug
kingpins, according to John Dohrety, assis-
tant professor of criminal justice at Marist
College.
Fernandez, now a senior at Marist College,
recently described her involvement in the
scandal as a frame by police, lawyers and a
system that Jocks the door and throws away
the key.
"There are a Jot of innocent people in jail,
because the district attorneys are all trying
to
make big names
-
for themselves," Fer
-
nandez said.
-
Fernandez claims to have been doing her
sister-in-law a favor by holding the scale and
the inasitol because her sister-in-law knew the
authorities would be coming down on her.
Fernandez was advised
by
her lawyer to
plead guilty to appease the district attorney
into a lesser sentence, and was charged
$180,000.
She was later sentenced in a White
Plains court to
52
months in a federal
penitentiary, for conspiracy, possession of
narcotics, fraud and tax evasion, after
be-
ing told by her lawyer she would serve no
more than four months. "You put so much
trust into the person that defends you in
court, and w_hen the case is over, they forget
you even exist," Fernandez said. "Once I
was in prison, my lawyer would not even take
my calls: He did not even apply for an ap-
peal." After three years in a woman's prison
facility in Lexington,
Ky.,
Fernandez receiv-
ed her high school equivalency diploma and
was granted transfer to a prison in Danbury,
Conn., on Jan. 4,
1989.
Fernandez describ-
ed her three years in the Lexington facility
as the most depressing of her life. "My first
night in the facility I scrubbed by mattress
for five hours trying to remove the blood
stains," she said. "Other nights, I had to try
to fall asleep while listening to lesbians in the
next cot."
At the Danbury facility, Fernandez work-
ed full time in the education department as
a tutor for illiterate women, where she receiv-
.
ed 11 cents an hour. -She was informed of
the Marist College transition program in the
fall of
1989
at the Danbury facility, and
decided that she would put her time in jail
to constructive use.
The M_arist C?llege transition program, a
commuruty semce program designed to give
prisoners a second chance at education and
ease their transistion back into society, ~an
in l 972 at the Greenhaven Correctional
Facility, in Beekman, N.Y., and since
developed programs iri four other facilities
.
and one division for youth facility, according
to Lateef Islam, transition coordinator.
Sociologists estimate that every dollar
spent on such programs saves as much as five
dollars in future costs to government and
busine~s in reh~bilit~tion and job training,
according to Fmanc1al World Magazine.
Fernandez, one of
15
people accepted in
1989,
was the first to complete the paralegal
program, she said.
"I had always regretted not finishing my
high school education, and I thought I would
make the time count," Fernandez said. "I
had been out of school for 20 something
years, and I thought there was no way I could
do it." Studying in prison was difficult ac-
cording to Fernandez, who shared a cubical
with 13 other women. Cubicals contained a
metal bunk for each prisoner, a locker small
writing area and a room on the side with two
toilets, two sinks and two showers.
The television in the common room was
always on, women would laugh .and joke
fre~ly an? there was rarely any peace and
quiet until everyone was asleep, Fernandez

Shameful
One question: who cares?
Two male Marist students were denied entry into a
freshmen dorm in the early morning hours of Sept. 16. One
of the two proceeded to harass a security guard and residen-
tial director with racial slurs.
Who cares?
Jeffery Archer cares. He is the security guard who was
one of the victims of this gross example of the wholly unac-
ceptabl~ behavior that one can find all too easily at Marist.
He received what could amount to an apology allegedly from
one of the culprits after The Circle's Oct. 1 article about
the incident. The letter was not personally delivered.
Who else cares?
Afena Cobham cares. She is the resident director who had
the severe misfortune of being on duty that night. She too
was verbally assaulted. She said she had experienced this
type of abuse before when she was a student but never as
.
an administrator.

Editors' notebook
by
MATT MARTIN
What's the big hurry? SGA held the revote for freshman elections a
scant four days after declaring the first vote invalid because of ballot
!ampering. According to SGA officials, they are still investigating this
issue, even though elections have been decided yet again. How can that
be? SGA neve~ released a statement confirming nor denying any wrong
domg by candidates, so how can freshmen voters possibly make an in-
formedand impartial decision?
Why not postpone the revote until the investigation is completed? Is
the need for a freshmen president so pressing that it must be decided
before mid-semester break?
If a fair election process is the objective, then how could SGA let the
rumors about the election go unchecked and expect an unbiased result?
SGA didn't even let the candidates defend themselves. In fact it
wouldn't let the candidates say there even was a revote. Is this such a
private issue that a gag order has to be issued? What is SGA hiding?
Why should government always be surrounded by an air of secrecy?
SGA also said it would clear the names of the candidates. It is too little,
too late after the election to gloss over tarnished reputations. However
it is far too late to change impressions now.
'
Communication between SGA and the student body has been incon-
sistent at best thus far, further adding to SGA's shortcomings.
Nella Licari said in her campaign speech last year, "Student govern-
ment is the eyes and ears of the student body." Unfortunately the SGA
seems to be Jacking its mouth.

This week:
Bush and Perot
by
AARON WARD
Bush's legislative accomplishments,
Perot's possible candidacy and the effects of
a divided government top this week's issues.
How many times have we heard George
Bush criticize Congress for his inability to
pass legislation?
Assuming the answers are too many to
count, I then asked myself the question: self,
how good is George Bush's record on pass-
ing important legislation? ·
Surprisingly enough, I found a variety of
legislation, that when examined together,
have some positive long~term effects on this
nation:-ouring his four-year run, Bush has
passed the Americans With Disabilities Act
(this creates new rights for th.e disabled), the , .
himself from a•reactionary president into a
president prepared to affect positive change
for the United States for the 21st century.
What Perot has done for the campaign has
been invaluable. He forces the issues to the
forefront and, as if he were some kind of
referee, forces Clinton and Bush to get in the
ring to. slug it out on the real issues.
What
I
find comforting about Perot is
with all his wealth, he.is willing to raise taxes
. on those individuals who are directly
underneath or around his level of wealth.
Returning to the issue of passing legisla-

with Congress to scaleback military spending
by about 25 percent. Bush's record is ob-
viously not fantastic, but it is not unim-
pressive for a president who has been called
the reactionary president with a lack of vi-
sion.
I
decided to include this piece of news
-_:::::::~:~:::::::::::::::::::::::=
to balance some.of the comments often made .
.· that Bush has done nothing in office. He has
accomplished passing legislation while deal-
ing with a Democratic Gongress.
I
guess
something can be said for divided
government.
Turriing to other political news:
I
must not
fail to mention the possible Perot re-
emergence·. from his self-imposed political
exile.
.
.
·what fascinates me most about Perot is
his ability to sum up the problems of the
political system as well•as his ease.at propos-
ing solutions.
·
However, it is very easy for Perot to
criticize and throw stones because he is a
political outsider.
·
. What could Perot do
if
he re-entered the
race? He would cut the deficit; without a
doubt this is .the center of our economic pro-
blems. Paying our debts, reducing our spen-
. ding and restructuring the economy so
it
is
not based on debt should be a top priority.
Neither Clinton (with all his talk of economic
growth and help to rural and urban America)
nor Bush (with his "vision thing") have come
up with radical plans to aid an ailing
economy. Perot plans toincrease gasoline
taxes, 10 cents a gallon every year for five
years and increase taxes on Social Security
benefits to upper-income beneficiaries.· He
·also plans to increase the marginal income-
tax rate from 31 percent to 33 percent on in-
dividuals making more than·
$55
550 and
joint filers earning more than $89,250 a year
and taxes on some employer-pro:vided health
care plans, according to The New York
Times.
Perot could help George Bush revise his
economic plans for an ailing economy. The
two share many of the same economic
philosophies: they both believe in cutting
growth of mandatory government spending,
cutting the size of government and reducing
the federal deficit.
For a middle-class college student who
will
soon find himself in the work force paying
taxes, this seems like a logical solution.
With Perot's help, Bush could transform
tion, itis difficult to envision how Clinton
would deal with a divided government;
I
have yet to read anything asking Clinton
about his ability to handle a divided govern-
ment. Perhaps this should be included
among this campaign's majorissues. Let us
face facts - a president's ability to contend
with a divided government directly affects his
performance.
l
was reading Robert ·
J.
Samuelson's column in the September14
issue of Newsweek entitled, "The Virtues of
.Gridlock." In the column, Samuelson praises _
the virtues of having a 4ivided government,
such as a Republican president and a
Dem~cratic Congress. Returning to what I
was di_scuss_in~ earlier about Bush's problems
of sellmg ~s ideas to Congress,
I
see positive
and negative effects with a divided govern-
ment. True, according to Samuelson it does
protect against.''the worst excesses ~f both
parties,'' but at the same time it causes
political gridlock-. Bush has obviously reach-
ed some agreement with Congress over pieces
of legislation. What Samuelson raises in the
column about the public's perception that
every social problem has a government solu-
tion has to be the most insightful piece of
political analysis this columnist has read
recently. Unfortunately,
if
we elect Bill Clin-
ton to office we may be subject to a presi-
dent who does think that every social ill can
be cured with government medicine.

EmplOYer·• Exp~ myths easily dispelled
Editor:
By now Marist students know
that ori Wednesday,
_
October 28,
over
100
employer representatives
and Marist faculty
will
be available
to talk
.
to them at the 4th annual
Career Expo. As that date
·
ap-
proaches I'd like to dispel some
myths that students often believe
regarding the expo.
Myth
-1
"The Expo is just for
seniors." Employers and faculty
want to talk to students from all
Classes. Faculty can offer
-
advice
about career fields, major re-
..
quirements, and course selection.
Employers
will
share information
about their own career experiences
as well
'
as about internships and
Part-time, summer and full-time
jobs.
·
·
Myth -2
"The Expo committee
didn't invite anyone in my career
field." Our employer committee in-
vited over 450 employers, from all
majors
to
Expo. However, while
employers hiring some
·
majors
(such as business) do most of their
recruiting on college campuses,
many
(Communications,
Psychology, Science, Fashion, etc.)
seldom visit colleges. There will be
approximately 80 employers, some
for each major, attending the Ex-
po. Unfortunately, organizational
hiring policies prevented others
from attending as well.
Myth
-3"
f
can't go to the Ex-
po because I don't have a resume
or a suit". Suits and resumes are
not required for attendance. If
you're seeking a full time job it is
ideal to wear a nicely tailored suit
and present a polished resume to an
employer. However, we will have
"Personal Data Sheets" available
for you to fill out and hand to
employers in lieu of a resume.
If
you plan to discuss job oppor-
tunities at the Expo and don't have
a suit dress as
·
professionally as
possible.
If
you plan only to gather
either career or academic advice,
dress nicely, but don't let attire
keep you away.
Myth
-4
"It's not worth talking
to most of the employers since very
few have job openings." While not
all the employers at the Expo have
jobs to offer at the present time, at
least 65'do (which is pretty good for
those economic times). Most of the
rest will be hiring within the year
and can provide information about
typical full-time, part
-
time and
summer jobs as well as internships
in their organizations. In addition,
these employers are excellent
resources for your career research:
they will be happy to give you in-
sight into career fields which you
may be considering.
So as you can see, the Career and
Employer Expo will definitely be
worth attending. Students from all
classes. will be able to speak with

reaction to
Sig Ep
story
Freshman year in the dorms was
the greatest time of my life. Look-
ing back, I lived with a bunch of
misfits. It was like everyone was
good at something or had a par-
ticular niche. Whether it be cars,
ed his mind, bringing out his "cah-
weeative side."
I
seemed to think that he had a
few appetizers before the acid, but
I
didn't want to trouble him with
big words and possible questions to
answer.
I
was too exhausted to
laugh. I looked down at his pro-
duct and saw words of all sizes,
blending into and around one
another.
Editor:
I am writing in regards to the ar-
ticle and editorial dealing with the
Senate decision concerning the
Sigma Phi Epsilon Fraternity. First
of all, the headline on the cover
already incriminates Student
Government. The CIRCLE is to
cover the stories and their facts and
present them clearly. It is apparent
that
the
first
paragraph
demonstrates bias towards SGA
and conveys an improper portrayal
of SGA.
How can you criticize SGA when
your articles were incorrect? Where
is
_
the professionalism in the staff
writers at the CIRCLE? Did they
.
forget that "they are not merely
students anymore?" The articles
they write are suppose to deal with
facts

However, if the context

I was the practical joker, with
the Stephen King library and
English being my skill, along with
my major. That meant that I pro-
ofread dozens of papers, helped
write even more, and if the price
was right, something of a typist.
This good friend of mine whom
I'll call Josh (because that's what
his name was) used to come to me
day and night, always with paper
in hand, seeking assistance. Josh
changed rather dramatically since
he came to Marist because he fell
into some bad habits, one of them
being the constant consumption of
just about
_
anything that .would

the inind, if not erase it.
My opinion of drugs is just
below that of the KKK and
whoever cancelled M*A*S*H
reruns when I was 14 years old, but
I put up with Josh, regardless.
One night though,
I
did a bad
thing.
I had just about finished a stack
of paperwork at
J
a.m. when he
stumbled in,
.
clutching fervently at
his latest assignment. He looked
like a drugged and thinner version
of Stimpy, eyes completely closed,
twisted grin across his lips, and
tongue hanging out as he began to
wade through his own drool to get
to my desk.
"Here Dave

work for my stamp of

that he believed that it ha~ expand-
It looked like an ocean of letters
during a violent thunderstorm. It
was
·
impossible to read the
sentences or even most of the
words, themselves. I looked over at
this lost child (brain cheese oozing
out of his ravaged skull).
"Listen to me, Josh. This paper
is just about the best damn thing
that I've ever read. You were total-
ly right about the creative side of
your mind coming out. I want you
to take this back to your room and

convinced him to audition at age
11. Budd, a senior from Wapp-
ingers Fall, said "I didn't think
about it, till my sister Lucille told
me to try out, and it was a snowball
effect since then."
Budd belongs to a cast of 22
members, and stars in the Marist

production "Front Page" writ-
ten by Ben Hecht and Charles
MacArthur. -The play will be per-
formed four times this weekend,
tonight at 8 p.m., Friday at 8 p.m.
and twice on Sunday at 2:30 p.m.
and 8 p.m. "The story is about an
escaped convict, played by Jerome
Anderson, who is sentenced to
death after he shot a cop. The

Kelly has established at the
Rensslear Polytechnic Institute.
Both the "Textfiles" and "Haylib"
files have gotten mixed reviews
from the public ... er, private.
"I honestly can't see anything
wrong with it," said Sean McFad-
den, an 18-year-old business major
from Cambridge, Mass.

A prisoner's only
choice of study in 1989 was the
paralegal program, which sparked
her interest in studying law, Fer-
nandez said. Now a certified
paralegal, Fernandez was released
from the Danbury facility on Dec.
24, 1991, four months early
because of her high grade point
average, which was a 3.97. Fer-
nandez said she would like to at-
tend Harvard Law School after
graduating from Marist's pre-law
program this spring.
nifer Norris, a fine arts major from
Tolland, Conn., who is one of the
producers.
·
Norris did audition for the play,
·
but didn't get a role, and .instead
decided to try out for producer. "It
is a different aspect of theatre I
wanted to get involved in and this
was an opportunity to," Norris
said. Budd agrees one really learns
theatre when one has done
everything from lights, sets, house
crews, directing and selling cookies
at intermission.
"I
have done it all,
except producing, but as president
.of
MCCTA I am producing the
season," he said. Norris found out
producers have a lot of strange
things to do. "Sometimes we have
special needs like newspapers, or.
we have to find special props like
a roller desk or an antique phone,
which we rented from an antique
store in Hyde Park," Norris said.
Not only was the phone a strange
prop, but she also had to shop for
all kind of other 'bizarre' props,
communications arts major from
Bridgeport, Conn., said he
disagrees.
"There's really no need for
(stuff) like this on a college cam-
pus. We've done fine without itfor
so many years, and
I
can't see how
this can help the Marist communi-
ty."
·creating
such a file, according to
Kelly, is no more difficult than con-
tributing to it. "Honestly, anyone
who applies themselves can get this
done," said Kelly, who took two
days to create "Haylib" and file it
public.•'

more people get bored
enough and (fed up) enough, you'd
"I
want to take my experience as
an uneducated, uninformed victim
of those who enforce the system
and try to help others who have
been put in the same helpless posi-
tion I was in," Fernandez said. Fer-
nandez, who now calls herself
-a
survivor, described the whole
prison experience as an education
in itself. Prison reform will be one
of the first orders of business after
law
school,
according
to
Fernandez.

eeded because Front Page
takes place in Chicago, during the
20's, when the Italian mob was
very strong. Even though Norris
does not have a role in this produc-
tion, she knows what it is like to
play a role and escape reality for
awhile. Norris had a role last year
in Stranger than Fiction. "You get
to be someone else for a while, and
it is nice to escape the problems for
the day by getting into the pro-
blems of somebody else," she said.
Front Page is directed by Rich
Hack and Mark Meritt and pro-
duced by Teresa Sorrentino help-
ing Norris. When it all is over, the
actors and crew members have to
go back to their problems or as
Norris said, "go out and go back
to reality."
be surprised at what can pop up."
And, according to Kelly, there is
a certain "twisted satisfaction" one
gets from putting together files like
this.
.
"I
like to sit in the back of the
room and smile whenever people
read my stuff and enjoy it," he
said. Asked
if the idea of
authorities and handcuffs bothered
him, Kelly shrugged it off. "Well,
it's lasted this long," he said.
"I
haven't

been caught yet!" A new
section for his "Haylib" file is be-
ing considered, said Kelly -

And academics did come first. Kevin graduated from Tufts Universi-,.
ty:in Medford, Mass., and Gary is an alumnus of Colby College in Maine.
Currently Gary is in the process of getting his master's degreein Uberal
Studies from Wesleyan College in Middletown, Conn. Kevin, the defen-
sive coordinator for the Red Foxes, began coaching at Syracuse Univer-
sity where he first worked with Jim Parady, Marist's head football coach.

Neither brother said they had any hesitations about working together.
"We come from a very close family," Gary said. "My family joked
about us working together, but Kevin and I knew it w_ould ~york.''. ·
Gary said his father taught him everything he knows about coachmg
a team.
"I didn't learn the x's and o's from my dad, but he taught me how .
to treat the players," Gary said. _"He taught me how to be a good coach."
Both Kevin and Gary said they like it here at Marist and feel the team
has the potential to have a winning season.
"I like the attitude of the players, they are so committed to the game
even though they aren't receiving scholarships," Kevin said.
Gary agrees with his brother. "They are great guys," Gar~ s~id.
"Everybody wants to win and they do what they have to to wm.
Thanks to Gary (L} and Kevin Doherty, the Marist defense

Tennis persists despite lack of players
First-year head coach Sally
Johnston said she was satisfied
with both the team's play in
each of the three matches and
with McKeon 's defense. "The
first two matches we played ex-
tremely well," she said. "We
got tired in the third match,
which affected our play.
Christie played great defense.
She is learning to be more ag-
gressive."

its toll on the Marist tennis
team. The. Red Foxes lost to
Hofstra University on Monday,
8-1. Although things seemed
hopeless for Mari st, the women
pulled off an outstanding win
over Wagner College on Satur-
day 5-4. "This match was an
uplift that we really needed,"
Harrison said. Marist came out
on top even though the team
had to default a singles and a
doubles match. In the first two
singles matches, Katy Seward
and Christine Baker were both
defeated by Wagner's first and
second single's players. Baker

Although Johnston has been
pleased with her team's
response to the new offensive
and defensive style, she is wor-
ried because her club has not
been able to make a high
number of blocks in each of its
matches this season. "I am very
concerned about· that,'' she
said.·
"It
is the style of offense
and the team we have. We are
working on that aspect of our
game and are starting to read
the hitter's hand better." Marist
was in action on Tuesday and
yesterday, hosting Iona and
Central Connecticut State.

"It

"We were expecting something
tricky on the first play but it was
just a screen," said sophomore cor-
nerback Bruce A. Harris. "fthink
we took for granted that we were

make the play." Marist
came up with a Joe McLaughlin
field goal on its first drive to cut the
lead to 7-3, but Iona scored on
another Jong pass play before the
end of thdirstquarter. On second-

After

the second quarter, senior quarter-
back Brian McCourt gave Marist
(1-1-1 in the Liberty, 2-H overall)
the leadwhen he found senior wide
receiver Scott Defalco in the cor-
ner o£the end zone from ten yards
out. D'Aiuto rushed for the two-

on its next drive to make it

kept the

"l still felt we had a chance to

two-minute drive at the end of the
game. "We felt we had to get the

It is a bit of an awkward com-
bination, to say the least, and is
just one of the problems hounding
the women's tennis team this
season.

Wha( he expects is complete
dedication to the 'team and a desire
to win. He has received neither on
a consistent basis this year
.
"They're not committed as a
team," said Harrison, who is in his
first year as head coach. "The type
of people I have on my team are
club players, which means if they
paid their money, they could show
up at the courts at any time they
wanted. I think 'spoiled' is the
word.". What he is so frustrated
about is really the basis of the Red
Foxes' problems this year. The
team was 2-6 (as of Monday), has
had to forfeit three individual mat-
ches and cancel a few others. Why,
you ask?

in Division I, you should be focus-
ed on tennis."
As a result of faulty
scheduling, some of the tennis
players have had to skip classes to
make it to matches.
Haight, for example, has skip-
ped
three classes in five weeks.
"I've been picking and choosing
the classes I can miss," she said.
"I've had to choose between
athletics and academics."
Stop right there! This seems to
be the underlying problem of this
whole fall semester for the women.
Having to choose between athletics
and academics has caused some
players to miss matches or leave
matches
early. It has also created
what some outsiders would view as
a "rift" between the players out to
win
and the players looking to have
fun.
·
.
This may actually
be
some of the
players misinterpreting a dedication
to academics as a lack of dedica-
tion to the sport. True, all the
players should be able to balance
both classes and competition like
Harrison wants, but maybe this is
not the semester to do it. After all,
more than half the team is new
and, therefore, has had scheduling
problems. So, my advice is to just
limp through this year, win when
you can and fix all the scheduling
problems for next fall.
That way, no one feels compell-
ed to skip class just to please a
coach or a fellow player. Because
while there may
be
two different
types of tennis plaY,ers, there
should be only one type of coach
- one who is concerned for all his
players in both academics and
athletics.
